Question: Three objects each have mass mm . Each object feels a force from the other two, but not from any other object. Initially the first

Three objects each have mass mm. Each object feels a force from the other two, but not from any other object. Initially the first object is at x=Lx=L, y=0y=0; the second object is at x=+Lx=+L, y=0y=0; and the third object is at x=0x=0, y=Ly=L. The momentum of the system of the particles at the initial time is zero. At a later time the first object is at x=L/3x=L/3, y=+L/4y=+L/4; and the second object is at x=+L/2x=+L/2, y=Ly=L. At this later time, where is the third object? Find the xx-position of the third object.
Express your answer in terms of LL.
